Abstract

The purpose of this study was to describe a new anti-cancer drug regimen for uterine cervical cancer. The cytotoxicities of some anti-cancer drugs regimens against the human uterine cervical cancer xenografted into nude mice have been studied. The activities of CDDP, CPT-11, TXL, CDDP + BLM, CDDP + MMC, CPT-11 + BLM, CPT-11 + CDDP, CDDP + 5-FU, CPT-11 + MMC, CPT-11 + TXL and CDDP + TXL for squamous cell carcinoma (TCR, TCK, TCG), and CDDP, MMC, TXL, CDDP + TXL, CDDP + MMC and MMC + TXL for adenocarcinoma (TCO, TCM, TCY), were evaluated comparing with a control group using saline. Five mice were used for each groups. When the xenografted tumor reached 6 mm in diameter, 1/5 LD50 of these drugs were administered into the peritoneal cavity of the mice once a week for three weeks. The effective regimens were CDDP + MMC, CDDP + BLM, CDDP + CPT-11 and CPT-11 + MMC for squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix. CDDP + MMC, CDDP + TXL, MMC + TXL and CDDP were effective for endocervical adenocarcinoma. It was suggested that these new drug regimens should be used in clinical studies.
